...were murdered. I stare at the TV, at your tall, thin body lying dead on the sidewalk of a busy street in Istanbul . You are in front of your office, the office of the Turkish-Armenian weekly you worked so hard to launch and sustain. I cannot take my eyes off the soles of your shoes.

Staying the course, the ISG report scathingly reveals, is no longer an option. America cannot hope to sustain a war that amounts to $2 billion a day, especially when scant progress is being made. Continued American presence in Iraq, the ISG notes, will only increase resentment in Iraq and lead Iraqis to suspect a permanent U.S. occupation. At home, “stay the course” only...
